Hello everyone.
Great forum you have here.
I bought a 2.4 TD Surf 5 speed manual about 4 months ago.
She is on a G and has done a good few KM's but starts on the first turn every morning and I am really enjoying owning / driving her.
There is one issue however I have noticed with her and wondered if any of you here have come accross this before and could set me in the right direction to fix it.
When you start her she is good as gold, but upon starting (hot or cold) after a few hundred yards she feels like she is losing power and great plumes of black smoke billow from the exhaust.
If you idle when this is happening the ilde goes up and down, sometimes bad enough to stall the car.
Usually after a mile of so the black smoke stops and normal power resumes.
I tried a diesel fuel additive to a tank of fuel a week or so ago to clean the fuel system right through but it has not solved the problem.
Can anyone give me any odea what is going on ?
Thanks and best wishes
